Presentation: The Forgotten Americans: Reversing health disparities within Native American communities

Did you know that:

• The rate of tuberculosis is 630% higher in Indian communities?

• One in five Indian girls and one in eight Indian boys attempt suicide?

Health care on many reservations is at nearly third world levels, and there are remarkably few Native Americans in the healthcare field to serve their own communities. The non-profit Asniya was founded to provide opportunities and hope to the children living in Native American communities because Asniya believes that these children can provide a brighter future.
